It was soon after ex TC Alfred and the island was in recovery. It was a very peaceful time. Don’t think I’ll ever see Straddie like that again. I feel very lucky.
Absolutely loved our stay here. Property was amazing and really loved the kitchen!
Ray White who managed the property were amazing to deal with and went above and beyond for multiple of our requests including early check in and late check out.
Would love to come back

The Studio apartment 23a at Islander resort is so easy to relax in light, airy, the sound of the waves to make the time so enjoyable . The layout is fabulous. The apartment is quiet and surrounded by greenery. An easy walk to coffee. Great Holiday
Our early check in request was forgotten. We had to chase up early access, which was thankfully forthcoming. There is no lift, so with 3 stories to climb, it made for a tedious exercise only suitable for the fit and able. The bed was falling to pieces and underneath the bed was not clean. The shower/bath was mouldy. The deck parquetry flooring was falling to pieces and this made it dangerous to walk on. Hammer drilling in a neighbouring apartment beginning on the first afternoon and again on the Saturday morning, gave us reason to vacate and get out and about. As did the neighbour's children early starts on both mornings. This was due to the twin apartment access door being so thin. It may as well be a curtain, as it lets all sounds through easily. The early morning shower water noise coming from the next door apartment should be addressed. This is an easy fix. The light white curtain, without a blind, added to our early rise. No chance of a sleep in here. There was no ironing board, just as well, as the iron had a thick layer of burnt on melted plastic making it unusable. The clock had a flat battery. All in all, it was a stressful time as we prepared for a wedding event on the afternoon of our arrival without even a tea bag for a cuppa to settle us down.

Overall excellent stay! It was very quiet and peaceful, a prefect getaway from the city. Everything was accessible from restaurants/cafe, beaches, and bus stops going to Point Lookout/Dunwich!
Nice little place for our short 2 night stay here. It had everything in it. Would recommend. Only downside is if you don’t like climbing stairs as there is quite a bit to climb due to the location being on the top 3rd floor.
Modern unit with everything we needed. In larger complex with well maintained gardens and recently renovated pool. There’s a few flights of stairs to get up and down but that didn’t bother us. Only one minor complaint the owner could splash out on some blockout curtains!
Our stay was wonderful beautiful room somewhat clen (dusty) and when I took the extra pillows they were badly stained and no new pillow slip on them ,very off putting
But besides that in all was beautiful and we will come back
Thank you

More information
Renters need to know it is a three storey walk-up property. The unit is quite nice except for the window furnishings which are growing mould. There needs to be more information about what the unit has and hasn't got. Very good location!
The apartment is good, the complex is good (pool area etc. clean and well maintained). However, the bed comes with a doona without a cover. The doona had blood stains on it. Pillows were lumpy and the spares in the smelly cupboard had no pillowcases and were very stained.

Ok property, but all a bit 'tired'. Only two coathangers. Spare pillow unusable due to no polliw cases. Cooker dirty.
Nice views and friendly help from Chris when the power went off.
Property was nice, unfortunately there was only half a roll of toilet paper which wasn’t a nice surprise at 10pm first night.
The water jug was broken which was full of glass inside the bottle, it looked like ice but under further inspection it was glass 😳 my wife almost drank some!!!
I would definitely stay there again, it was just a few little things that could happen at any apartment.
Had to defrost fridge on arrival as it could not be closed - the freezer compartment ice was so thick. Some pillow cases stained. Outside furniture set is a potential hazard - rusted and flimsy. Clothes horse on balcony broken. One bedside light needs new bulb. Aircon needs a clean - very dusty with musty smell, not usable.
We did enjoy our stay on Straddle. Looks like The Islander apartment 23a has had some modernisation. However a trip to Kmart or an online order to purchase some items would be recommended. Things I would buy would firstly be new pillows. There is a new washing machine there, but no usable clothes airer. No hair dryer. Purchase new coffee cups (one chipped) Only one drinking glass. No tea towel. These are inexpensive items that would certainly improve the rental stay.

Newly renovated but impractical
Unit is a 4 storey walk up! Armoire instead of wardrobe is too small/limited hanging. Refrigerator and separate freezer ridiculous for a short stay. Better to have 2 refrigerators with normal freezing section in top. A shower that doesn't leak over the floor preferable to a bath. Unit desperately needs AC as concrete roof above and hot water unit inside makes the unit an oven in summer. Kitchen window should be louvres to allow through ventilation with door shut.

Reviewer Comments:
The apartment was not cleaned to an acceptable standard (or in a condition anywhere near the photo on ). I have operated similar short term accommodation sites and understand what level of cleaniness is required (curtains were moldy, bathroom window very soiled and living room floor rug needs to be replaced). Very basic amenities and upgrade to outside furniture and screens on doors is needed. 1 roll of toilet paper provided for a 6 day stay / dishwasher not cleared / items left in washing machine. very poor attention to detail for our arrival.
